Product Information

Full details

These IOMI FootNurse Extra Wide Cotton Socks are designed for adults experiencing fluid retention and swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet. They offer a comfortable, non-restrictive fit that gently stretches to accommodate swollen limbs up to a 30-inch circumference, providing relief without pressure. Made in Britain from a soft, cotton-rich material with flat seams, these socks aim to prevent irritation and blisters, making them ideal for managing conditions like oedema and lymphoedema. A key benefit is their adaptive stretch weave, but users should be aware that the 'extra wide' designation refers to the leg circumference, not the foot size.

FAQs

What is oedema?

Oedema is the medical term for fluid retention, which causes swelling in the body's tissues. These socks are designed to help manage this by providing a comfortable, non-restrictive fit for swollen limbs.

Are these socks suitable for medical compression?

These socks are designed for comfort and to accommodate swelling without restriction. They are not medical-grade compression socks and do not provide therapeutic compression levels. Consult a healthcare professional for compression therapy needs.

How much can the leg circumference stretch?

The socks can expand to a maximum leg circumference of 30 inches (76 cm) due to their loose knit weave.

Can these socks be worn by men and women?

Yes, the IOMI FootNurse Oedema Extra Wide Cotton Socks have a unisex design and are suitable for all genders.

How should I wash these socks?

They are machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Wash dark colours separately.

What is the main benefit of the flat hand-linked toes?

The flat seams created by hand-linking the toes help to prevent rubbing and irritation, which can reduce the risk of developing blisters.

What material are these socks made of?

These socks are made from a soft and cotton-rich material.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight despite being extra wide.

Ensure you are selecting the correct size based on your foot size and not just the leg circumference. While designed for expansion, the initial fit is still important.

Socks are slipping down.

Ensure your legs are clean and dry before putting them on. If the issue persists, the elasticity may be diminishing over time due to wear and washing.

Skin irritation occurs.

While designed with flat seams, check if any part of the sock is rubbing. Ensure the socks are clean and that no detergents are irritating your skin. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

Socks seem to have lost their stretch.

This can occur with prolonged use and washing. Follow the care instructions carefully to maximize the lifespan of the sock's elasticity.
